6 Basic Truths (part1)

''But i (Jesus) tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. ''( Matthew 5:28)

1. Attraction to Opposite sex is Natural.

Attraction to the oposite sex's body is a natural God given desire. The temptation however, is to fulfill these desires and attractions in a wrong way and to go beyond a natural and normal outlook. That means viewing a girl (for boys) more as an exremely interesting collection of body parts rather than a precious child of God.

You know when you are thinking of her mostly as a pair of breast walking by and little else. We will be tempted in many wrong ways like staring lustfully and fantasize bout her in our mind to play with these natural desire and attractions to girl. And obviously, those practices are impure and unacceptable to God.

2. Sex is exhilarating.

This one's not too hard to accept is it? There is nothing in the world like an orgasm.No feeling hits you harder or draws you back faster whether through masturbation or sex with a partner, that this phrase comes about.

''Once you tastes the candy, you will never say no again. So you better not taste it!!''

However, one you travel down the freeway of premarital sex, you cant back up. If you want your purity back, then you will have to exit the pathway entirely.

3. Sex is a Slippery slope

If you dont ram a stake into the ground and declare, ''This is as far as i go, and i wont go any further,'' then you will lose your footing on the slippery slope of sex. People tend to make sweeping rationalizations for their behaviour:

'' Its ok, coz i really love her. i know i am going to marry her anyway.''

''Why wait until marriage! we are already married in our hearts..''

'' Sex isnt wrong for everyone. God is really concerned only about adultery.''

Maybe you have said the same things to yourself. It's amazing how we can justify our actions to ourselves and to God. Those rationalizations allow our consciences to gradually become accustomed to the sexual freeway we are traveling.
